You don’t need spa‑prices to enjoy geothermal bliss.

Countryside thrift

Save Smart

  • Bring your own towel and flip‑flops.
  • Book shoulder season or off‑peak slots.
  • Pair with a self‑drive Golden Circle instead of a combined tour.

Small Wins

  • Refill water bottles; skip pricey drinks.
  • Share snacks; dine in Flúðir instead of tourist hubs.

Tip: Rental towel ≠ must. A packable microfiber pays for itself.

Bottom Line

The Secret Lagoon is already the budget‑friendly pick — amplify it with timing and simple gear.
